COMMENTS AND REPORT CARDS

Ghali – “My home”

First piece, so far, that arrives from the first listen. Without an incisive refrain but a flow that rocks.
Rating: 7

Irama – “Not you”

It’s not “Wherever you will be”, it’s not that incisive. But it’s perfect for this circus called Sanremo: it has everything you need to fly high in the rankings.”
Rating: 6

La Sad – “Self-destructive”


They come to my aid from home: “All this mess and then it’s the Finleys.” Like punk pop to listen to again, PTN can definitely be heard.
Rating: 5

Fiorella Mannoia – “Mariposa”

Fiorella Mannarinoia, ops. Those are the vibes. And I don’t know if that’s a good thing.
Rating: 5

sangiovanni – “Finish me”

He interprets but doesn’t fully succeed. How boring! Urban piece here too, worth listening to several times.
Rating: 5

Clara – “Rough Diamonds”


Not bad urban pop. Do you understand Crazy J? Text crushed by music.
